G31: Yankees 14, Red Sox 3

Game resumed at 6:25. Martinez fouled out to second against Alfredo Aceves to end the fifth. Manny Delcarmen is taking over for Buchholz (5-9-6-5-1, 93; 1 unearned run).

Rain delay at 5:11 with a 2-2 count on Victor Martinez, a runner on first and two outs in the bottom of the fifth.

In the space of two pitches, the sky opened up and suddenly sheets of rain were coming down. Because the Red Sox are still batting in the bottom of the fifth -- though Sabathia was one strike away from ending the inning -- the game is not official.

2. L - it is the type of work I want to do, working with local government on constituent casework, local issues, etc.; I want to do it here in Boston, but I have the chance to go do it in NYC and I may.

Dammit. Lost interwebs again. I think it's my wireless, Timmy's desktop, on the hardwire, hasn't given trouble. Tried rebooting, hopefully I'll be able to stay on.??? Beltre??? Thought we got him mainly for his defense.

Well, that was fun for about the first hour. THEN it sucked. We stayed until 7, but then had dinner reservations we could not miss (never expected the game to run beyond FOUR hours). I am not sorry we left. When we left, the game still was within reach (9-3), sort of. By the time we had walked to the restaurant, it was out of reach. I drank two cosmos, had a great dinner, and forgot about baseball for a few hours. (Remember that I saw this game with two avid Yankee fans...)

I am not sure I can bring myself to watch tonight. One more Yankee blowout is more than I can handle.
